JK Tyre & Industries Ltd. has just launched its state-of-the-art JK Tyre Truck Wheels Center in Coimbatore which is known as the Manchester of South India. The centre would provide a one-stop solution for the entire tyre & wheel related-service needs of trucks and buses in the region.
With the presence of its textile industry, as also auto components and other industries, Coimbatore is one of the major transport hubs in the country. With more than 25,000 small, medium and large industries, the city is the second largest software producer in Tamil Nadu, next only to Chennai.
The truck wheels centre is strategically located on NH-47, NH-67 and NH 209, so that it can serve trucks not only in Coimbatore but the neighboring cities and States.
Mr. Vikram Malhotra, Vice President – Marketing & Sales, JK Tyre & Industries Ltd., inaugurated the exclusive center at Rajam Tyre in the presence of other key JK Tyre officials. Rajam Tyre is one of the most reputed tyre dealers with five truck wheel centers in operation in Tamil Nadu.
The centre is equipped with advanced facilities, including a computerized truck tyre alignment machine, wheel balancing machine, automatic tyre changer, nitrogen inflator and truck tyre repair tools. It offers end-to-end tyre-related services for trucks and buses. The services offered would help consumers reduce the maintenance cost and fuel consumption. Nitrogen inflation is another special service that offers a lot of benefits to customers.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Malhotra observed: “JK Tyre is the pioneer of radials in the country and is committed towards bringing the best of products and services. This initiative is another step in providing one-stop tyre-related services to customers. With radialisation catching on, JK Tyre, as the pioneer and market leader, has been striving to provide complete tyre solution to its customers. Coimbatore is home to a large part of manufacturing of automotive components and has the oldest flour mills in India, which cater to all the southern States. With such a vast opportunity for truck radials, the centre will be a huge success.”
Mr. P. Saravanan of Rajam Tyre Service, the franchisee for the Coimbatore centre, said: “I’m very happy to take my partnership with JK Tyre which started way back in 1995. As a fleet owner I have always felt the need for exclusive services like alignment and nitrogen inflation. With the increased speeds and maintenance standards, fleets are realizing the importance of these services.”
